moving from meetup... The Luddite Club is a conversationalist club that relies on the human biocomputer (no cell phones allowed) or physical text. Topics may range from psychology to hard science.

What once was the center of your universe (your phone) has been reduced to a conglomerate of unresponsive rare earth metals. Will you be able to recover from the inevitable drop in your dopamine levels? Will you be able to find your way home? Is there anyone you can join forces with to withstand the subsequent chaos? Join us for the experience of real-life, tactile human interaction (not as tactile as fight club, please don’t touch others). You are hereby challenged to spend one single hour (or more if you wish) without that beloved spy in your pocket.
